Every day there are scammers coming up with new ways to try and trick you into handing over your money. Many emails and phone calls look authentic which is why so many people fall into the scammers trap.
CIRCLE will never send you an email asking you to log on to internet banking by clicking on a link in the email. Always access internet banking through your web browser using the CIRCLE website – www.circle.com.au
If you are unsure what to do should you receive an email that doesn’t look legitimate, don’t click on anything within that email, call CIRCLE on 1300 553 582 or simply delete the email.
If you are getting pressured by a phone caller to hand over personal information or details about your bank account just hang up. The scammers will probably keep calling but don’t answer your phone if you don’t recognise the callers number.
To keep up to date with the latest scams the government has a website at www.scamwatch.gov.au where you can find more information.
